A Savage War of Peace: Algeria, 1954-1962
[Buy it!] | Horne, Alistair | USD 74.50
(Wed May 29 02:20:07 2024) | Alibris | DBookmahn's Used & Rare Books via Alibris | New York, NY, U.S.A. Viking Press 1978 First Edition Hard Cover/Boards Near Fine in Near Fine jacket 8vo-over 7¾'-9¾' tall. 604 pages with b&w photographs. Still shrink wrapped. Presents the first full history of the Algerian war, from the All-Saints'-Day rebellion of November 1, 1954, to the election of an independent Algerian government in July 1962. He masterfully weaves the complex strands of this story into a narrative of relentless fascination; the war itself in all its military and political aspects; the constant struggles within the F.L.N.; the profound revolution within Algerian Muslim society; the revolution in the French army in Algeria; the near civil war among the Europeans in Algeria, which culminated in the horrors of the O.A.S. and which threatened to spill over into Metropolitan France. The revoluton of the war moves into the external political arena--on the rostrum of the United Nations and platforms of the Third World and in the councils of both Western and Eastern blocs. The French Foreign Legion's 1er R.E.P. (Premier Regiment Etranger Parachutiste) participated in the revolution against independence. Clean. |
